Missing its captain, Thiago Silva, and superstar Neymar Jr., Brazil went into today's semifinal vs. Germany shorthanded. But nobody could have predicted that Brazil would go down 5-0 in the first 30 minutes. It was truly horrific to watch.
What...

Just...

Happened!

I never thought I'd say this: Brazilian fans are leaving, before halftime, of a World Cup semifinal in their home country. It's stunning.

German fans, however.

And then Germany scored again in the second half to make it 6-0, because of course they scored again.

Germany's Andre Schuerrle celebrates scoring his side's 6th goal.
Oy...

Brazil's manager, Luiz Scolari.









Wait a second now, Brazil scores!
COMEBACK! #BRA
And then it was over. Germany 7, Brazil 1. The worst loss for Brazil since it lost 6-0 to Uruguay in 1920.
